Here are some of the reactions of sites on my blogrolls talking about today’s verdict in the Scooter Libby trial.

Captain’s Quarters

The case will eventually find its way to an appellate court, where the justices will have plenty of issues on which to chew. Chiefly, the panel should look at the circus which preceded this prosecution and determine whether the lack of any underlying crime should mitigate towards a dismissal. Only when these special-prosecutor cases start getting tossed out will we finally see an end to that plague.

This was just ridiculous, how could an intelligent jury come to this conclusion? I followed the trial enough to know that everyone’s testimony was confusing and contradictory. It is ok for everyone else to be wrong when talking to the FBI or the Grand Jury, but he could not possibly have just been mistaken?

We now know that Joe Wilson lied about a lot of things and there shouldn’t have ever been a special prosecutor appointed, since there was no underlying crime. Additionally, it does seem plausible that a guy as busy as Libby wouldn’t remember where he heard Plame’s name. Combine that with the really stupid questions the jury was asking, the way this trial has been heavily politicized on the left, and how liberal DC is, and you’ve really got to wonder how fair this trial was for Scooter Libby.

GOP Bloggers

I suggest that Libby receive the same punishment as Clinton for perjury and Berger for stealing national security secrets.

I think the people who will be cheering this verdict might want to step back and think about how this kind of precedent will be used against one of their own in the future.

And it will. Bet on it.
